Winter's Mystery

Rating: 5.0 stars

Reviewed by Joy Hannabass for Readers' Favorite

"Winter’s Mystery" is a combination of spirituality, psychology, poetry and photography, about journeying within. Patricia Blumhagen has written her new book to help people on their journey to
finding wholeness in their life. It is not always an easy journey; it involves being courageous enough and leaving behind your old life of lies, fears, rejection, loss, abandonment and so many other
issues that plaque your life now. There is no judgement on this journey, only love and forgiveness. Join Ms. Blumhagen in the journey to find the wholeness in your life you long for.

This book is full of poems and helpful insights to help in your journey. Though sometimes I had to read a poem a few times to understand its real meaning, I felt them heartwarming and interesting. If
you find yourself with only a few minutes to read, this book is great because each poem only takes a minute or so to read. Most of them come with a picture on the same page to help you relax and
understand better what you have read. The outside cover has a beautiful winter-white scene with a door inviting you to walk through, and you can tell the book is well-thought-out by the beauty of the
inside and out. If you love poetry, you will find the inspirational poems in this book to be enlightening and entertaining. There is definitely something here for everyone. Why not pick up your copy
today and enjoy for yourself?

This attractive little book is a call for individuals to begin an introspective personal examination to rid
themselves of depression, fear and personal deprecatory thoughts to reach a point of understanding of the ‘real you’. Unlike most volumes providing thoughts to attempt this proposed transformation,
the author has used an extended presentation of poems, with accompanying pertinent photographs, and likened ‘life’s journey’ to nature’s gentle but inexorable march through the seasons. It is
beautifully designed with each descriptive photo accompanying the smooth flowing poetry. Additionally, and most helpfully for the reader who wishes to reread /study portions, the titled pictures, as
well as the pertinent discussion (poetry) with appropriate page numbers, are listed at the end of the book along with a thoughtfully selected bibliography.

In summary, Winter’s Mystery is an attractive, thought-
provoking book that reminds me somewhat of another I reviewed sometime in the past that was published in Scotland where, as I said, “people still occasionally take time to smell the roses”.
Similarly, this presentation is not for everyone, and unfortunately in today’s frenetic world, perhaps will not be read by many who should. In fact, it probably is just for this reason – a world
filled with disturbed and disgruntled people – that more readers should do themselves a favor and read this thoughtful, charming presentation.Reviewed by John H. Manhold, award winning fiction/non-fiction author.
